Shattered Reality - Mark Grayson x Reader

You weren't supposed to survive. That was the thing no one here understood - survival hadn't been your choice, it had been your parents', made in a dying lab on a dying world while you screamed at a sealed hatch. Earth wasn't a second chance. It was just where the pod landed.

Learning to exist here is harder than anyone warned you. The yellow sun has rewritten your body into something unrecognizable, the GDA treats you like a variable they haven't solved yet, and every time you close your eyes you're back on Luminara watching two people choose you over themselves.

Then there's Mark Grayson. Invincible. Annoyingly optimistic, frustratingly patient, and one of the only people on this planet who understands - even a little - what it means to have power you never asked for.

You're not looking for anything. You're barely keeping it together. But grief is a long road, and somehow he ends up walking it beside you.

A slow burn. A soft landing. And the quiet, painful work of learning that surviving and living are not the same thing.
